One of the final big festivals of 2012 takes place this weekend in Austin where 130-plus acts are set to play the eight stages of the Austin City Limits Festival Friday through Sunday. For those of us who can’t make it, YouTube has teamed with the festival’s promoters to offer a webcast featuring 39 of those acts.

Just like the festival itself, the webcast lineup is diverse and filled with HT faves such as The War On Drugs, Alabama Shakes, The Black Keys, The Shins, Big Gigantic, Gary Clark Jr., Andrew Bird, The Civil Wars and The Avett Brothers. The action starts tomorrow at 1:30 PM CT at http://www.youtube.com/aclfestival.
